Jonathan Forte hopeful of breaking into double figures for Notts County

Jonathan Forte believes he can get his scoring tally into double figures again this season if he is given game time for Notts County.

The 31-year-old struck for the Magpies at Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday, helping his team edge back into the lead and eventually setting up the groundwork for a 4-2 win at Adams Park.

Forte also scored against Everton's Under-21s in the Checkatrade Trophy and is now being urged by fans to start in County's game against Accrington Stanley this Friday.

Notts manager Kevin Nolan spoke several times of having had a "frank discussion" with his player, which Forte himself corroborated, but he describes the talks as a good thing in terms of motivation.

“The last few weeks have been tough, because you want to be in the team and think you should be in the starting 11,” he told the Nottingham Post.

“But I think what has happened has been a good thing because it makes you want to push harder.

“The be all and end all is being in the team on Saturday. I scored 10 goals last season and I believe I can reach that tally again.

“If I get the chance then I am sure I can hit the double-figure mark. But it’s not all about goals, you just want the team to do well.”
